Here’s my take on The Minstrel, one of the BBEGs in the adventure module book by XP to Level 3, the Quest-O-Nomicon. I got it as an add on to their Kickstarter.

"OPEN YOUR EYES AND PRAY TO THE MOTHER OF DAWN SHE SPELLS A POEM THAT TRANSLATES TO HOLD ON I have no clue why Xp to Level 3's How to Play Paladin song is stuck in my head, but it is."

Hello I am here to make everyone aware of a DnD liveplay campaign: Evenfall (Arcane Arcade)
I have no idea how I got into the campaign (it was XPtoLV3 :)) but it’s awesome. I DONT see anyone talking about it online or here, I’ve seen a few tesseract and waterdeep posts, and apart from spring forth’s official tarot card art here, that’s about it. The main selling point for me in Evenfall is the really cool character related homebrew they do! It really made each player character distinct both in story progressions and mechanics.
I DONT really know how to put it in words without spoiling it, but I can with visuals! Here’s some FANART!
the starting party consists of Faelan (Bloodhunter), Lelia (Warlock), Kurt (Sorcerer), Stibbles (druid), Phillip (Paladin/Barbarian), and Cor (Wizard)
(Side Note: some art on the episode Playlist contains spoilers, so watch out for that!)

My copy of Quest-o-Nomicon finally came in, can’t wait to read through it and run some one-shot adventures. Love the bone colored dice set and the mouse pad/dice rolling pad that came with it (kickstarter rewards) that gives a brief overview of what a player can do on their turn/attack turns. It’ll def help newer players remember (and me when I blank mid-game cause I have too many cogs turning to focus 100%, lol)

There’s some XP To Level 3 video, I think one of the “gigachad DM” series? I usually like XPTL3 overall, but this one part rubbed me the wrong way. It was a group doing character pitches for a Curse of Strahd campaign, and the last player says he wants to be an Adult Red Dragon. There’s discussion (“do you want to be a cursed/transformed dragon?; No”), but when the rest of the players say that they’re okay with having this party member that will severely alter how they interact with NPCs and greatly overshadow them in combat, the DM goes “okay, fine, if you’re all okay I can make it work”.
And like. I don’t know, I think the “chadlier” response in this case would be to veto. Maybe the bit is that this DM is so crazy good that they can just alter the proposed game to accommodate it without any trouble, but it still bugs me. Regardless of if the other players are fine with it, I think “gigachad” practice in this case would be to stand up for your own enjoyment. You are a player as well, and if you have pitched Curse of Strahd, I’d imagine you’re looking forward to horror vibes and dark perils and whatnot, which are pretty incongruous with a full ass dragon in the party - to say nothing of having to significantly rewrite the module and especially the combat encounters. Bending over backwards and sacrificing your own enjoyment to accommodate one inconsiderate player isn’t gigachad shit actually, IMO.
I’m definitely reading into it too deeply but still.
With regards to this post, I think the people saying "a good DM could make it work" do have answer to the question of "but why would they?" But their answer is, basically, because it's a lot of work.
There are a lot of what I would call "hustle culture DMs," people for whom the amount of work and effort they put into their campaign is intrinsically good, proof of them being good DMs. Doing less work, even if it accomplished an equally good (or better!) end result, would be bad. The point is the grind, that's what proves how good they are.
And like hustle culture bros, they're mostly full of shit, they're not actually doing what they advocate for, and those who are doing it are burning themselves out for absolutely nobody's benefit. You should treat people telling you that "a good DM could make it work" the same way you treat people telling you to sleep four hours a day so you can focus on your side hustles.

Re: the zan post and her projection, i'd love to hear abt that one👀👀👀👀👀q
YEAH IVE BEEN WANTING TO TALK ABT THIS
so basically smth that becomes v notable looking through the in character tweets by zan regarding the other dream friends, is shes v competitive n has quite the ego abt herself:she can recognize n acknowledge others skills rly well but her conclusion is either "well im better (angry)" or "well im better (excited to beat them)", this gets taken to a new absurd when introducing adeleine, where she immediately starts talking abt how shes hiding behind her canvas like a child n therefore does not know ~the path of strength~ n can never beat a ~battle-hardened warrior like herself~, n then she proceeds to keep downplaying adeleine even when shes showing new skills n seems excited to fight her after noting ado n ribbon were dancing around like its showing her some kind of lesson.generally she seems to take anything she perceives as weak or cowardly rly personally
so i was thinking like.i feel theres smth to be said regarding her strength fixation? when you take her backstory of having attempted suicide at a young age into account? suicidal ppl often feel helpless n weak, specially when theyre again, v young, so i could def see this all started from her trying to cope w that through just becoming the strongest n most confident, specially when her role in the cult was hyness' choice, so hed likely be giving her a lot of positive attention from succeeding in combat, smth she seems to rly want (from one of her playable screens) bc she absolutely adores him n would consider his opinion n approval like holy words (kanji used in jp straight up implies she idolizes him n generally anything regarding her feelings on him is so extreme in the original text lol)
so her issue w adeleine is just.ados a weak child who hides a lot, which feels like looking at a mirror to her bc thats her spitting image of when she was like that, which zan absolutely despises bc she spent so long "fixing herself" from that n the only way she can rly process this is by projecting n thinking theres smth inherently wrong w adeleine so she keeps bringing it up n up n how much better she is until she.i dont know honestly i doubt shes going anywhere w this beyond trying to make herself feel better by deciding to fight her lol.iirc adeleine has a splash effect w some of her attacks which zan is extremely weak to bc shes literally kept alive by electricity so i doubt ados in any real danger of getting beaten up
which brings me to smth i wanted to bring up bc as always extremely amusing zan has this huge ego shes a super strong warrior when her boss fight is designed to have multiple oversights regarding safe spots or spots where shes vulnerable to attacks n in the jp pause screen its said she uses her speed to "toy" w her foes like shes so sure shes got this shes messing around for her own amusement n she throws a huge fit when she loses n blows up the station w the cults own allies inside n laughs at your face abt it.thats just so funny oh my god.shes not even as good as she claims n shes a violent sore loser abt it
oh n ig this makes her weakly calling to hyness for help when she loses the second fight hit even worse since shes so confident shes so strong but at this state shes resorting to believing hell save her again.thats lovely
tl dr zan partizanne wants to beat up a child bc like most kirby characters she has a weird ego but shes getting mentally ill abt it.idk sorry ado but hyness hasnt complimented her in like a week n shes getting unstable

Something i love about the Brazilians is how they always complain about the XP usage of the waystone like they're complaining about bus tickets prices <3

the fact that I might hit level 10 (or at least be very, very, very close to it) before I even make it to act 3 is wild. They really could have made the level cap on this game higher. I hate that every single boss fight in act 3 is set for the same level, meaning you basically stall and there's no more progression (aside from new items) for most of act 3.
I mean, imagine if in a dnd game, you spent 1/6th or more of the whole campaign at the same level. Even if that level was 20, it would feel stale after a while, and bg3 doesn't even get close to 20.
They could easily have gotten us to level 14 or 15 with the amount of content in the game. I know some people argue that "oh, well, balancing high-level encounters is hard" or "they didn't want to implement 7th level spells", and like, I kind of get it. But at the same time, they had years to work on this game. Plus, it's a game. I feel like balancing for a video game, where there's only set coded possibilities of what the players can do (minus glitches and exploits, ofc) is easier than DMing a real game and trying to predict every possible outcome under the sun.
Maybe I'm wrong about that, but even if I am, it's not like Larian's never done it before. Characters in D:OS and D:OS2 get up to level 20. And while those aren't ttrpg recreations, the issue of balancing high-level encounters remains the same. And ofc, not Larian's doing, but there's P:WotR which managed to not only balance for 20 character levels, but also the 10 mythic levels and the insanely busted shit that can come out of that. (Plus, Pathfinder in general is a more "the characters are over-powered" kind of game in general, at least compared to 5e. Not a bad thing, just a difference in game design.)

This guy is called the Othkotha, a boss monster from the Quest-o-Nomicon, a collection of adventure modules that was worked on by the folks behind the group XP to Level 3. I got this miniature and several others by buying into it during their kickstarter a few years back.

Yeah this new detail of actually recruiting and leveling up Alfira is just cruel, I felt so bad taking that rest knowing it's all for naught.
